What is everyone using for CAS auditing?

Mongo, Redis, Postgres, Mysql or other?

I am working on a new deployment for CAS and trying to see what auditing repository everyone is using.

Previously I used Mongo but I am leaning toward a relational db for ease of reporting.  

Look forward to your responses.

Using Elasticsearch for CAS auditing here.  Filebeat agent tails the cas audit logs and sends to logstash for parsing/field mappings then off to Elasticsearch.  Kibana web front end for pretty dashboards/reports.  We have about 15 months worth of CAS audit logs from 30k users in our Elasticsearch cluster, cool stuff.

We already had Logrhythm running, so it made sense to send logs over to that. I'm using syslog to get them over there.
I don't manage Logrhythm, but from what I understand, they just had to setup a template on their end to parse the CAS logs.

Similarly, we send CAS audit logs to Sumo Logic, but that's only saved for 60? days.
We have a separate audit log (created by a separate application) in a store backed by an RDB.  However, our user base is considerably smaller.  The size of the audit table is becoming an issue, so we'll likely address that ~real soon~.

Hello,

Is it possible to have the Logstash Grok patterns on a GitHub repository? This way, we can avoid reinventing the wheel.

Thank you in advance.
